  • Reduce echo of sound?

    Posted by Thomas Morter-laing on October 19, 2010 at 6:56 pm

    Cool, so I recorded some stuff using a Rode NTG2, and whilst Im very happy with the overall quality, it does sound a TINY bit echoey, simply because it wasnt next to his mouth.
    How do I reduce that slight ‘roomy’ effect which sounds like he’s in a hollow room, by using filters etc?

    Other than adding some EQ, you can’t get rid of “off-mic” echo.

    It’s one of the common (and difficult to correct) recording problems.

    The problem is better addressed (really ONLY effectively and practically addressed) during the recording process.

    This problem is very common in location work.
    It is why many larger productions resort to ADR (automated dialogue replacement) recorded back in the studio after the shoot.
